#1 It is a shame to lose such pristine land.
It's not worth the morning news cycle to live there, or I would be there myself.

#3 The thing is, if you stop and look around the place is still beautiful and full of beautiful people so you don't notice the decline. Assuming you aren't looking for a job and aren't pulling out your hair about the water crisis.

#4 Islands of beauty, La Jolla, Malibu, Newport Beach, Pacific Palisades, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Half Moon Bay, Lake Tahoe, even here in the Sacramento area, Granite Bay and El Dorado Hills, so many are insulated from what has happened, but go to National City, Santa Ana, Boyle Heights, Oakland, most of the Central Valley, and you see the disaster, overwhelming illegal and immigrant demographics, agricultural jobs devastated by the drought and no water catchment infrastructure or dams in decades, water resources diverted to the urban areas, no manufacturing, regressive tax rates, cumbersome regulatory environment for small business, environmental contraints down to individual tree removal permits for selected species, high cost of living and high taxes on everything. AN idiot governor who plans spending massive debt on a silly train that will never be successful, and you see the future of the US. Pure insanity to let progressive/socialists do this through corruption, massive immigration to overwhelm the power of the citizens, schools that literally teach hatred of their own nation....I weep for what was here, and what is coming for the rest of you.
